Sausage Breakfast Pizza cooks up on a sheet pan for easy cleanup! Now you can enjoy your favorite breakfast pizza turned healthy. It's made with layers of healthy ingredients and is perfect for serving a crowd. This sheet pan breakfast pizza has big flavors for fewer calories. It's both gluten-free and low-calorie too!
My perfect morning starts with a hearty breakfast, coffee, and a sweaty workout. It's been that way for so long now it's hard to believe I used to be someone who didn't eat breakfast and couldn't stand working out. It seems the only constant in my life has been coffee.
This sheet pan breakfast pizza recipe is one my Mom used to make for every holiday or special occasion. The only difference was she used crescent rolls for the crust. I simply omitted the crescent rolls for a healthier version, that's higher in protein.
I also made it on a sheet pan to make the slices thinner than they would be in a traditional casserole dish to make portion control easier. Again, easier said than done because this Healthy Breakfast Pizza is crazy delicious!

Ingredients You Need
Here's a look at the simple ingredient list you need to make this sheet pan breakfast recipe. The full list and quantities of each are in the recipe card further down the page.
- Shredded Potatoes: For the frozen shredded potatoes, make sure the ingredients on them are only potatoes. There shouldn't be any added oils, salt, or anything else added. The added oil is high in omega-6 which is pro-inflammatory. Very important to watch this for good health and weight loss!
- Eggs: Use half egg whites and half whole eggs in your sheet pan breakfast bake for lower cholesterol and calories.
- Milk: I am using unsweetened almond milk but you can use any milk you prefer.
- Baby spinach: Adds a splash of color but also sneaks some veggies into your breakfast. You can easily replace it with another vegetable of choice though you may want to cook firmer vegetables first and chop them up into small pieces to add them to your egg mixture.
- Turkey breakfast sausage: Turkey is the leaner option over pork.
- Cheddar cheese: Use light to keep it low calorie and if you want to make your sheet pan breakfast dairy-free you can simply leave it.
Sheet Pan Breakfast Variations
- Sausage: You can use any type of crumbled sausage you prefer. Just make sure you cook it first and drain off any excess oil.
- Vegetarian: Omit the sausage and add plenty of vegetables instead. You might consider sauteeing onion, red bell pepper, and mushrooms, and then throwing in some chopped blanched broccoli too! Feel free to mix and match with your favorite veggies.
- Skip the Egg Whites: You can certainly use 9 whole eggs instead if you prefer. Just note that it will change the nutrition.
How to Make Breakfast Pizza
- Cook the turkey sausage in a skillet over medium heat. Break it up with a spatula as it cooks. Drain it well after it's cooked.
- Combine the eggs with milk, salt, pepper, and spinach in a medium bowl.
- Spread the shredded potatoes in an even layer on your prepared baking pan and top with the sausage. Pour the eggs and spinach mixture over the top. You may need to spread it so it's in an even layer. Sprinkle cheese over the top.
- Bake your sheet pan breakfast until the eggs are set and serve immediately.
How to Store
This breakfast pizza stores great whether you have leftovers from weekend breakfast or if you are making it for your weekly meal prep.
- Storing: Allow it to fully cool and then package it up in individual portions or sections to serve later. Refrigerate for up to three days or freeze it for up to three months.
- Reheat: If frozen, allow it to thaw out overnight. Heat in the oven at 350° F for 10-15 minutes or until heated through. You can also reheat it in the microwave by placing it on a microwave-safe dish and heating it in 60-second intervals until heated through.
How to Serve Sausage Breakfast Pizza
This Sheet Pan Breakfast Pizza is perfect for Easter breakfast or any holiday, brunching on the weekend, or an easy breakfast for the week. It makes a ton too so be ready for leftovers!
Since it's mostly a one-dish meal you don't need a lot to round out your meal but here are a few suggestions.
- Add Something Sweet: Like this coconut flour banana bread or low carb lemon poppy seed bread.
- Fruit: Slice up your favorite fruits or enjoy this Greek yogurt fruit salad on the side.
- More Veggies: For brunch, you might prefer a more savory side such as this Greek yogurt broccoli salad or roasted winter vegetables.
Expert Tips and Recipe FAQs
- Drain the Sausage. Be sure to drain off any excess grease that may be on the sausage. It's not only healthier but it will taste better too.
- Make a Double Batch. Save time on breakfast during the week and make the large batch on the weekend so you have leftovers!
- Mix and Match Ingredients. Feel free to mix and match the protein and vegetables in this dish to use up any food you have on hand.
- Parchment Paper is Your Friend. Be sure to prepare your pan with a piece of parchment paper to make serving and cleanup a breeze.
Use a 10.5 x 15.5-inch stainless steel pan that has at least a 1-inch lip. It must have a higher edge than cookie baking sheets to accommodate the mixture.

This came out perfect! I did add some roasted green chiles and mushrooms for added veggies, and some smoked amcho chili powder for a little earthy, savory flavor, and I added the spinach and shredded cheese about 5 minutes before the bake time was over and switched the oven to broil so the top got a little more toasty. Color equals flavor, right? It was DELICIOUS!
Hello! Any chance you know if this would freeze well? If so, would I cook then freeze or freeze then cook when ready?
Hey! I haven't tried, but if I were to try it I would cook then freeze. I would slice into portions, wrap in plastic wrap first then foil to freeze.
HI! This looks SOOOO yummy.
On a completely unrelated note, a dear friend of mine had similar fracture issues (and was VERY healthy otherwise) and after years of not knowing why, they just recently diagnosed her with a chronic form of Leukemia. not to totally scare the crap out of you... but maybe an hemotologist should check, if they haven't yet.
Oh thanks, but I've been seeing one for years and that's already been ruled out.
Great recipe! Can't wait to make it!
You may have already done this, but just wondering if you have seen an Endocrinologist who can evaluate all the hormonal issues (Hashimoto's, amenorrhea, and problems with periods) which might be affecting your calcitonin/calcium levels, which might be affecting your bones, etc.... As young as you are, and as long as you have been dealing with this, surely someone has already suggested that referral to you, so I may be barking up the wrong tree. But, I hope you will get better soon. Blessings!
Yes, I've seen over 10 endocrinologists, 3 oncologists, GI specialist and every other specialist under the sun since 2007. The only person who was able to help me was an ND. After I started seeing her in 2015, everything improved. Problem with seeing specialists is they just toss you off to the next specialist without ever bothering to try to figure you out. It's as if the entire medical community refuses to problem solve. Honestly, I'm fed up with seeing traditional doctors and being passed around like a Thanksgiving turkey. My ND was the only doctor who actually looked at my medical profile in entirety and was able to diagnose me.
How can I add this into my fitness pal
You just add your own food into the app with the nutritional values.
Thanks so much for this amazing (and simple!) breakfast recipe! And I hope you are on the road to a speedy full recovery!
Thank you! Glad you like the recipe.
That sounds so frustrating, hang in there. I love a good, hearty breakfast!
Thanks Emily!
I wish I was there to give you a hug. Consider this a virtual HUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUG.
Thanks friend xoxo
This looks amazing! It really stinks that you are injured. That must really be hard to deal with.
It is, but there's always good food!
Oh gosh, I can only imagine how frustrated you must feel. I tend to find doctors here try to diagnose and let you go... they don't really take time to evaluate other pieces that put the puzzle together. Sounds like this is an issue due to your hormone imbalances--- lots of injury starting at a young age is setting alarm bells. Really hope you can get to the bottom of it and recover from this one quickly!
I hope so too. Thanks friend!
OK 🙂 I keep seeing sheet pan everything everywhere and that's a sign!!!
That said: you are the proverbial EGGstraw which broke my sheet pan back 🙂 I need to get me a big big pan and make this.
You need to get on it friend!
